In his remarks, Del Col commended the government of Lebanon and the lebanese Armed Forces for continued cooperation in the implementation of UNIFIL’s mandate. ”This cooperation is at the centre of our collective success in maintaining nearly 14 years of calm in south Lebanon – he said – Together, we have to build on this long period of unprecedented stability to be able to carry out our mandate effectively and without obstacles”.

On his part, Diab lauded UNIFIL’s role, together with the LAF, in maintaining the cessation of hostilities and preserving stability in south Lebanon since 2006. He called for the full implementation of UN Security Council resolution 1701, which forms the core of UNIFIL’s mandate and to which the parties have expressed their full commitment.
”Your presence here is not only out of international will, but also out of a Lebanese desire; it is embraced by the upstanding people of the South – he said – Lebanon is committed to the implementation of Resolution 1701, to the role of United Nations forces and to the preservation of its mandate and number of personnel without any modification”.
This is the first visit of Prime Minister Diab to the UNIFIL Headquarters.
